not take place until 83:3 years later
Those three centuries were
marked by the hardship of pioneer-

French and English villages was a
Door rehearsal . • besides the
difficulties of climate and loneliness,,
there were hostile clans, belligerent
neighbors, natural barriers, mid the
uncertainty ,ef life under rulers who

together, events conspired bo bring
it tabent . .. Bach of the separate
colonies latronved at a crisis' in its
effaias at the sante .time, and con-

many worries . F`,00is undertake
great things because they think
them easy, but the Fathers of Con-
federation were not foolish . . .
While they know the anxieties con-
aaeeted with a federation, they be-

TEE CANADA. OF 1867 WOULD
be a stta+ange world bo us . . It
had none of the features we take
for granted, such as great factories,
large cities, ,higluways, automobiles,
radios, electricity . . There were
(oily a few miles of railway along
the St. Laweenee . . . The people
membered 831 millions, 80 per cent
of whom lived in ,the two provinces
of Upper and Lower Canada .
Few -fifths of the population were
rural; Montreal held about 100,000
people, land it was by far the larg-
est 'city • Cultivation of the soil
and the .extraction of raw ,products
from the forest and frcm the sett,
supported a small group of mane-
factrwing. hsandica'aft and service
industries scattered through the
settled areas.

It did, however, (provide a frame-

AClinton war hero—Flt. Lt. Toni

As Pilot Tommy Cooke of the On -
eerie Provincial Air Service, of which
he has been a member for the past
year, today he has the • grateful
thanks of three 'Cochrane youths who
bad been left in the .bush 100 miles
mirth of. Cochrane .last week.
"Tommy" brought theme. out after a
precarious landing and take -off from
a Lake "full of racks" which threat-

rangers who• were pearly surrounded
by fixe. Young, Dorsey and Good-
win were landed on an untamed lake
which, Cooke found when he was
taxiing to 'share, was only about four
feet deep and was bestrewn with
betPlders.
The youths had food and fire
equipment, but no tent or mosquito
bars. They made themselves as com-
fortable as they could under the cir-
cumstances . until the pilot could
come back for them.
Landed Between Rocks
Shortly after noon, Cooke piloted
hi's big Norseman aircraft over the
area and spotted the boys an a
point, where +they .hada fire burning
to try and tsnnudige" mosquitos
away. He landed. "between teaks"
unable to see into the brown water
and taxied slowly to shore.
The boys piled thele equipment
aboard the aircraft, but Cooke ran
aground when the started tbo taxi
away, and they had to jump over-
board with all their clothes on to
ease the machine off the bottom of
the lake.
A Tough Take -Off
• Two rocks were visible above the
water and Cooke steered a course
between them for his takeoff, With
evert! .one in :the machine sitting
tense he pushed the throttle forward
and headed down the lake at 90 miles
an hour for nearly a mile before the
big niev 1 vne lifted its floats off.
"I wouldn't land there again on a
bet," said the veteran of five years
and eight months -of ROAF service
during which he piloted Canso flying
boats on coastal patrol. "I chose
the lake to set the boys down on
yesterday because it was so large
that one couldn't believe it world be
so shallow er fell of rocks. But hav-
ing landed I promised I would come
back and piek them up,"
